Dating to around 20,000 years BC, the caves located near Taforalt house the remains of numerous skeletons of Oranian and perhaps older origins^[1]. The remains are distributed throughout a deep and highly stratified cave floor, which has yielded much ash and charcoal fragments along with human and animal bones and plant material.

This site was added to the UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List on July 1, 1995 in the Cultural category.^[1]
